What happened on Saturday March 18, 2006?

Here's what happened on March 18, 2006:

• France Labor Protests Against First Employment Contract Massive demonstrations erupted across France, with hundreds of thousands protesting the controversial Contrat de première embauche (First Employment Contract). The proposed labor law would allow employers to terminate employees under 26 years old within their first two years of employment without providing justification, sparking significant youth and worker outrage.
• Hamas Forms New Palestinian Authority Cabinet Hamas announced the formation of a new cabinet to manage the Palestinian Authority-controlled territory. In a strategic move to potentially include the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Hamas delayed the cabinet submission to President Mahmoud Abbas by one day, seeking broader political representation.
• US Navy Confronts Somali Pirates US Navy warships engaged pirates off Somalia's coast in a decisive maritime operation, resulting in one pirate killed and 12 captured. This action followed a UN Security Council resolution on March 15 encouraging naval forces to combat suspected piracy, triggered by a previous attack on a UN World Food Program-chartered vessel delivering drought relief supplies.
• South Australia Labor Government Re-elected The South Australian Labor government, led by Premier Mike Rann, secured re-election with a significant ten percent swing, demonstrating continued public support for the incumbent administration.
